<b>Hailed as a "modern masterpiece" by <i>The A.V. Club</i>, this new pocket-sized edition (6×9 inches) tells a sprawling tale of magic and family, legacy and grief, good and evil.<br> <br></b> Acclaimed suspense novelist and <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author Joe Hill (<i>The Fireman</i>, <i>Heart-Shaped Box</i>) has created a gripping story of dark fantasy and wonder--with astounding artwork from Gabriel Rodriguez--that, like the doors of Keyhouse, will transform all who open it. The epic begins here! This new edition includes <i>Welcome to Lovecraft</i> and <i>Head Games.</i><br> <br> Following their father's gruesome murder in a violent home invasion, the Locke children return to his childhood home of Keyhouse in secluded Lovecraft, Massachusetts. Their mother, Nina, is too trapped in her grief--and a wine bottle--to notice that all in Keyhouse is not what it seems: too many locked doors, too many unanswered questions.<br> <br> The <i>IDW Classic Collections</i> will collect the six-volume series into three convenient, pocket-sized editions. The second volume will include <i>Crown of Shadows</i> and <i>Keys to the Kingdom;</i> the third volume will include <i>Clockworks</i> and <i>Alpha & Omega.</i>
